About Britech Industries.

Since 1984 - Supplying Industry with Rubber Parts and Products.
Britech Industries was incorporated in 1984. We got our start in Miami, Florida in a small warehouse with a small office. Our original mission was to supply Florida manufacturers and light industry with extruded rubber parts. The inventory list was short but parts would be added as customers required them. From Rubber Grommets, Rubber Bumpers, and Extrusions we grew along with our customer base. By the late 1980's we had out grown our original offices and moved to a larger more convenient location. Our customer base had also grown. We now were covering all of South Florida and were moving into the Central Florida area. Our product base was also increasing. Many of the items on our Products page were added in the early 1990's. Our commitment to our customers requirements was well established during this period. We special ordered or overnight shipped for many customers depending on their needs. By the mid 1990's we were, once again, out growing our warehouse and offices.

1995 - 2005 Custom Manufacturing and Nationwide Coverage
Since Britech had grown in Florida and had customers through out the state we decided to move to a more central location to better serve our Florida customers. We relocated to Stuart, Florida which put us close to the growing Central Florida markets. Along with our move we increased the scope of our mission to include the manufacturing of Custom Molded Rubber Parts and Dies. This would enable us to directly product the rubber products our customers demanded. The advent of the internet has allowed us to expand virtually worldwide. We can now offer our distribution and manufacturing services almost anywhere. With our stocking and customizing services we can provide Rubber Parts to manufacturers "just in time" so they don't have to have large stocks on hand. This keeps costs down; enabling our customers to compete in the global marketplace.

2004-2006 Our offices and warehouses were hit by Hurricanes Frances and Jenne. To enable us to keep up with our customer's needs we moved to a brand new state of the art facility. Construction was completed in May 2005, returning us to full strength ready to meet our customer's requirements and demands. Contact us if you need any of our Rubber Products or have any questions about them.

It's Important to Know the Conditions
When attaching your gaskets, you will need some type of adhesive or grip to hold your gasket in place. Whether you choose to attach the gasket by mechanical means (screws) or by a permanent adhesive will depend on your specific circumstances.

It is critical that you communicate all conditions that may apply to your specific needs. Heat, moisture, type of surface, painted or unpainted, weather conditions and other factors all will play a part in how well a specific bonding agent will work. Britech can only make suggestions based on the information we receive from you.

There are many different adhesives available because there are a multitude of surfaces to which gaskets must be applied. It is important to select the right adhesive for the job and for the particular gasket material being used. That's why it is so important to let your Britech specialist suggest the correct adhesive method for your specific application.

Acrylic or Rubber Based PSA Adhesive?
Acrylic and rubber based PSA adhesives are normally used to hold the gasket in place before the gasket is more permanently attached by mechanical fasteners. Acrylic adhesives work best on painted or fiberglass surfaces. Rubber based adhesives work better on aluminum, bare metal and stainless steel.

3M™ (ST) Sealing Tape.
Recently, Britech introduced the revolutionary new 3M™ (ST) Sealing Tape. Britech uses high tech heat laminating equipment to thermally bond the new tape to an extruded seal or gasket part. The thermo process ensures a strong, reliable bond of the adhesive based tape to the gasket. A removable liner protects the adhesive until the gasket is ready to be applied.

To apply, you simply peel off the liner and press the gasket part into place. The part is easy to align and stays in place during application. You can securely attach gaskets to almost any surface without the expense or work of mechanical fasteners or messy contact adhesives. It's easy to see why more manufacturers request this product to be applied to their gaskets.

Call our Customer Service Department today and find out why all the progressive manufacturers are praising the benefits of switching to 3M™ (ST) sealing tapes on their gaskets and seals.

Die Cutting
Foam and rubber sheets can be die cut to fit irregular shapes. Gasket materials used around automotive style lights, for example, often need to be hand cut requiring valuable time. Britech can complete this process by die cutting the shape and reducing valuable labor costs.

Cutting and Notching
If you need to facilitate the forming of a gasket. you often need to make special cuts for relief points, notches and holes. This takes time and effort. Britech can make these cuts or drill those holes for you, saving both time and money.

Cut to Specific Lengths
Do you need the extruded rubber gasket cut to a specific length? Don't hand measure out each piece. Britech can do it much more efficiently. saving you time and money.

Cold Glue Splicing
Several methods of splicing using a variety of adhesives give you the flexibility of fitting the gasket to your specific needs. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Butt Splice - used for fabricating endless gaskets where there is limited or no strain on the splice.

Corner Splice - used to form gaskets of special configurations. They provide a satisfactory static seal where the splice is not under strain.

Notched 90° Corner.
